Christian Paper Crafts Color Challenge
This is a pretty open color challenge this week: The Serenity prayer is calming & encouraging. It makes me feel cozy as if I'm being wrapped in His
arms. Cozy, calm, and encouraging to me is cocoa brown and colors of the sea (shades of green and/or blue). For your color challenge card this week, use colors that make you feel as if you're being wrapped in the arms of Jesus.

Inspired Serenity Prayer

... and another double challenge.

Today's SCS Inspiration Challenge was to choose one of Faviana's Prom dresses. I chose this dress. I was quite surprised at the dresses. I wore a big southern belle type dress that my mom made for me. I can't imagine allowing 18 year olds to dress like that. Yikes!

Thursday's SCS Way's to Use it Challenge was to use basic black.

Thank you, Dr. Ferguson

The silver ribbon is for mental health. The 3 different sizes of brads symbolizes how a person starts in treatment and they gradually get better until one day they have blossomed into the person they were meant to be.

This thank you card is for my family's psychiatrist. She has helped us through a difficult period in our lives revolving around events that started with me. I recently sat in a session with my son who has CP, depression, and high functioning autism... that's tough... or at least I thought. Wow! I was so amazed at how she was able to get him to talk. I'm in tears as I'm writing this. We were able to meet with his school team again with more specific information as to why he acted out as he did recently.

Stamps: Ribbon - Our Daily Bread, sentiment - SU
Paper: unknown speckled light gray, basic black, white
Accessories: diamond stickles, brads, paper piercer, white gel pen, CB birds & swirls (Wish RAK), and designer label, circle, and oval punches
